The assessment system provides an overview of the achieved learning outcomes, student learning progress, and evaluation of teaching and learning. The types and organization of the assessment are described in the module description of each course (Appendix 2.1). The assessment system also includes an explanation of learning outcome calculation based on PLO and CLO arrangements. The assessment evaluates the student learning process and learning outcomes. The primary assessment system includes assignments and exams with a set of standardized exam assessments attached in Appendix 2.2. Based on the Rector’s Decree number 1189.a/UN39/PK.00/2020 Regarding Academic Guidelines, course examinations are conducted at least twice in a semester, which is the Midterm examination and Final Examinations. Meanwhile, the assignment assessment includes several types, such as quizzes, paper writing, and project report writing, conducted at every meeting or at the end of the semester. The scoring system is presented in the table below.

The Scoring System is provided in Table 2.1, where the minimum score to pass each course is C for undergraduate programs and B for master’s programs. Students who do not pass a course must re-enroll the next semester and re-register in the SIAKAD academic system through the link (http://siakad.unj.ac.id). The academic regulations also stipulate examination requirements and deadlines for entering grades in the academic system (http://siakad.unj.ac.id/). The assessment results of face-to-face courses must be uploaded within two weeks.Students can take make-up exams under the following conditions: a) Sick and must be hospitalized by showing a letter from the hospital; b) Have a mandatory assignment from the university or state; c) Experience a disaster by showing a letter from the person in charge). Make-up exams for midterm and final exams are completed separately after the main exam schedule has been completed. Assessment for the final project is accomplished by assessing the research proposal through a proposal seminar by a panel of examiners. For the undergraduate level, the panel consists of 3 examiners. As for the master’s level, the panel consists of 5 lexaminers. The assessment of the final research report is accomplished through the final project trial defence by a panel of five examiners. The assessment is based on educational, authentic, objective, transparent, and accountable values. The proposal seminar and final defence assessment instruments follow the university assessment instruments. The assessment instruments for proposals and final thesis for undergraduate and master’s level.
Assessment are conducted through direct and indirect assessment. Direct assessment measures Cognitive (knowledge and understanding), such as Exams, Essay Writing, Work Reports, Laboratory Reports, Oral Exams, Presentations, Projects, and Seminars. While indirect assessment measures Affective and Psychomotor (attitude and ability), such as Focus Groups, Practicum, Case Studies, and Interviews. Based on the latest academic rules, the weight of project-based learning (PjBL) and case-based learning (CBL) assessment is at least half of the passing grade of a course. The assessed aspects also include student activities such as attendance and active participation of students when performing learning discussions, practices, cooperation, and execution and collection of assignments.Examples of test items and assignments ofeach course in the Bachelor of (S1) Mathematics, Bachelor of (S1) Mathematics Education, Master of (S2) Mathematics Education, Bachelor of (S1) Physics, Bachelor of (S1) Physics Education, and Master of (S2) Physics Education along with the course portfolio in the study program is attached in Appendix 2.2.Grade Point Average is divided into Semester Grade Point Average (IPS) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (IPK). The IPS is calculated as follows The IPS score is calculated based on the number of courses taken in the semester. Meanwhile, IPK is calculated based on the weight of the passing grade of the course multiplied by the number of credits of the passed course and divided by the number of credits of the passed course.
The grade point average (IPK) is calculated by excluding failed course grades. It only includes the grades of the passed courses.
Study completion of the bachelor students is accomplished through thesis research. The students follow the thesis writing guidelines (Appendix 2.3) prepared by the faculty with university and ministry regulations. Thesis research topics related to the specific scientific fields of each study program aligned with the lecturer’s research roadmap.
The Thesis Proposal Seminar is weighted 2 credits (SKS), equivalent to 3 ECTS and the completed Thesis is weighted 4 credits (SKS), equivalent to 6 ECTS. Research thesis provides students with an experience of conducting independent guided research and presenting their research results in an scientifically. Furthermore, the students are encouraged to write a scientific paper based on their research, present it in national or international seminars and publish it in proceedings or journals. Ethical provisions related to plagiarism are monitored through the Turnitin system. Before students conduct their thesis defence, they must have a TOEP English competency score of at least 425 and registred as an active student. The examples of the bachelor thesis are attached in Appendix 2.4.
The final project or thesis of Master Study Program students is divided into a 2 credits (SKS) Pre Thesis Seminar, or equivalent to 3 ECTS, and the completed thesis of 6 credits (SKS) or equivalent to 9 ECTS. The students conducted their research and write their thesis under the guidance of supervisors. Master’s program students are required to present a research proposal to the study program examiner team and are required to carry out a thesis defence examination. Before the thesis defence, students are required to publish a paper based on their research thesis in the nationally indexed journal Sinta 2 or international journals indexed by Scopus or Web of Science (WOS).. The examples of the Master’s thesis are attached in Appendix 2.5. The passing grade for the thesis and thesis examination is B for bachelor and master programs. If students’ thesis is rewarded lower than B, they must revise the thesis and retake the exam. Students who pass the thesis in the bachelor and master’s programs must register for graduation to get a bachelor’s or master’s diploma, academic transcript, and diploma supplement. The evaluation of the entire student learning process until graduation is expressed by calculating PLO achievements with excellent and reasonable achievement levels. The range of PLO achievement is 70 to 100 (Appendix 2.6).
Students’ learning is assessed by lecturers based on the existing modul courses. The assessment includes assignment , midterm and final term exams. Assignments can be given at every meeting or several course meetings, while midterm and final term exams are held at the middle and end of the semester, respectively.The study program conducts the midterm and final term exams in the period according to the schedule in the university academic calendar. The study program coordinator arranges the schedule and implementation of the midterm and final exams with the lecturer team in an exam committee. The course lecturer team prepares test items and submits them to the Study Program to be validated by a team of validator lecturers and approved by the study program coordinator at least one week before the exam. Assessment of field internship activities such as Teaching Practice Programme and Internship Programme are assessed at several activity meetings. Meanwhile, the final exam is held at the end of the programme, precisely at the end of the semester of activity. For Teaching Practice Programme and MBKM Internship Programme, there are also MBKM conversion courses, so the total credit load for each activity is 20 credits. The Study Program designs a schedule for implementing internship activities following the academic calendar, from preparation and implementation to the final exam. In addition, the Study Program determines internship partner institutions, supervisors, and lecturers who teach conversion courses. The Assessment is conducted by supervisors, field supervisors, and lecturers of conversion courses in the form of portfolios, seminars, presentations, practical work, and others.The final thesis assessment is conducted through research proposal seminars and Thesis examination sessions. The Study Program determines the schedule for conducting proposal seminars and final project examination sessions, supervisors, and examiners. The final thesis assessment instrument follows the university assessment form covering the final project report and presentation aspects. All course grades received by students must be submitted by lecturers in the Academic Transcript of the Semester, which can be accessed in the SIAKAD academic system. Students can access their Academic Transcript of the Semester in SIAKAD after filling out the feedback evaluation form (EDOM) during learning in all courses taken in the active semester. Academic Transcript of the Semester given to students every semester informs about: a. Score of each course;b. Semester Grade Point Average (IPS);c. Cumulative Grade Point Average (IPK);d. Total credits for the next semester;e. Remaining study time.
The bachelor students’ study progress evaluation is regulated in the academic regulations. The evaluation is taken in three steps. The first step is held at the end of the second semester with the following terms and conditions; if a student have accomplished total credits less than 24 credits (SKS) (36 ECTS) and the GPA is lower than 2.00, then the student will receive a First Warning Letter issued by the Bureau of Academic, Student Affairs and Public Relations. The letter informs the student that their UNJ student status will be terminated unless they can improve their academic performance in the following semester. The second step of evaluation is held at the end of the third semester with following terms and conditions; if a student have accomplished total credits less than 36 credits (SKS) (54 ECTS) with a GPA of less than 2.00, then the student will receive a First Warning Letter (for those who have never received a Warning Letter in the first stage of evaluation) or a Second Warning Letter (for those who previously have received a warning letter). The third step of learning progress evaluation is held at the end of the fourth semester with following terms and conditions; if a student have accomplished total credits less than 48 credits (SKS) (72 ECTS) and the Grade Point Average (GPA) is less than 2.00, the student will receive a First Warning Letter (for those who have never received a warning letter at the first and second step of the evaluation) or the student’s status as a UNJ student will be terminated (for students who have received a First and Second Warning Letter). All warning letters are sent to the parents of students and forwarded to the Faculty and Study Program. bachelor students must pass with at least 144 credits SKS (216 ECTS) and a minimum GPA of 2.0. Meanwhile, master students must pass with at least 36 credits SKS (93.6 ECTS).
To complete their study, all students are required to:
- Pass all the compulsory courses of the study program,
- Fulfill the minimum number of credits,
- Complete the final thesis,
- pass the final thesis examination
